Tragedy at LA Fitness

It's not often that the fitness clubs industry becomes the center of a media firestorm. But that's what happened today.

The shootings at the LA Fitness in the Pittsburgh suburb of Collier, PA (also listed as Bridgeville, PA) led off the morning news shows on all the major networks today.

"It's certainly getting a lot of publicity," says Rick Caro, president of Management Vision. "We've had these kinds of terrible situations before, but this one is getting more publicity than normal. It doesn't reflect well on the industry at all. Obviously, it makes us [seem] unsafe."
